breakfast with Escapee Chapter 9. The
entire rest of the day was preparing to leave
for Canada. We've changed the destination
of our first stop several times. Currently we
believe it will be an Elks Club near Salem.

This was a misc. project day. Started with removing and
repairing two cabinet doors. Then I listed the "yard sale" on Craigslist for the park. Most of the afternoon I spent cutting out plastic "templates" for a neighbor. These are templates to use in quilting so Gwen got some too.

We discovered yesterday that our car registration will expire in August while we are in Canada. Normally I get a notice from the DMV but it's too soon for that so I must visit the DMV in person. We checked the motorhome registration and learned it had already expired and we didn't get notice. So, this morning was a trip to the DMV to renew the registration on two vehicles. It's much easier to do it online but you must have the DMV reminder notice.
